Table 3 Population size and intrinsic growth rate after further propagation for 5, 10, and 15 generations.

Group	Generation	Population number (All stage)	Intrinsic growth rate (All stage)	Population number (Post embryonic stage)	Intrinsic growth rate (Post embryonic stage)
Control	F5	6857.67 ± 416.44^a	0.53^a	5817.00 ± 348.83^a	0.52^a
	F10	6707.00 ± 120.93^a	0.53^a	5774.67 ± 91.77^a	0.52^a
	F15	6809.00 ± 25.81^a	0.53^a	5867.67 ± 35.24^a	0.52^a
Selected	F5’	8835.00 ± 76.33^b	0.55^b	7796.33 ± 46.98^b	0.54^b
	F10’	8566.67 ± 93.24^b	0.55^b	7609.00 ± 69.51^b	0.54^b
	F15’	8423.00 ± 84.04^b	0.55^b	7384.00 ± 50.21^b	0.54^b

F represents the control group, and F’ represents the selected group. Data was presented as mean ± standard error. Different letters in the same column indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).
